The rWt passion that can take! where the children may grow Into - mn 1. not the passion men. vkm love may find privacy, old IVMf , HV for power, nor tor weann. nr learning, nor for social place, nor tor any earthly gift or good. These are all inferior. The greatest l the pas sion for souls. To be a coworker with Jesus Christ In the salvation of an Immortal soul Is a thing Infinitely than la amass wealth, to v""-' hold the reins of power, to direct and control vast Industries, to have ex iimini. or to walk In the icuai s. av front rank of the social procession. But we do not alwaya put the right valuation upon this wonderful honor which God has put upon us. The things of the material ltfe obseeure. -and sometimes obliterate the worthier things of the spiritual life. Chris tlan men turn their activities to the various fields of business, and often withhold their attention and energies from the more productive fields that are white unto harvest. This should not be so. If the world is to be saved It must be through the faithful efforts of those who are already saved In be half of those who are unsaved. The passion for souls must come over us like a flood If we are to do our part for the redemption of men. It was said of the late George Mac Gregor that there was probably not a moment of the day when a passion for souls did not present itself consciously and irresistibly to his heart He was eager for the work of soul-saving, and the result was that many were brought Into light, peace, and holiness through his efforts. If this divine passion, which was in the heart of the Saviour of men, could take pos session of the church, what rejoicing there would be in heaven over the home-coming of sinners, and what a blessing would be poured out upon the church in recognition of Its fidel ity to its high and holly calling! Stephen J. Herben D. D. Is the Horns in Danger? There are many who regard the American home as being in grave peril. As one goes about the residen tial sections of any great city he Is impressed with the large number of apartment houses either occupied or In course of erection. And this is true not only of the large cities, but of many towns, where the Increase In the value of land has made the apart ment house the most profitable form of investment for the landlord. In the crowded portions of the great cities the situation has not changed, as far .as the housing of many families In one structure Is concerned, except that In some places better tenement laws are In operation under the dlrec tion of competent officials. The question Is, can the Integrity of the American home be preserved In the atmosDhere and environment of the crowded tenement and apartment house? Many persons who have riven careful attention to various phases of the question say that It can not; others are more hopeful, and In sist that while the changed conditions of living are unfriendly to the preser vatlon of the best traditions and in fluences of our American home, yet there is no reason why the struggle for the salvation of the home need be abandoned. That the home Is In danger there Is no doubt; that It can be rescued from the danger that threatens is doubtful. The best that can be hoped for is the bringing to bear upon the home-life of the crowded tenement, fiat, and anartment house such an array of good influences that the best will come to supremacy In spite of every hostile Influence and tendency. And Just here Is a superb field of usefulness for the church, whose duty It Is to create, project, and perpetuate good Influences, to correct an evil en vironment by making one that is pure, to encourage every upward tendency, to give dignity and nobility to the home atmosphere, and to safeguard the Interests of all the members of the home circle, by casting about them the strong, uplifting, and sheltering arms of the church. Charles Wagner of Paris, who Is now In this country, and who has achieved a world-wide fame as the champion and exponent of the simple life, utters this needed word of ex hortation: We, who from transform ing our cities, our houses, our customs and creeds, have no longer where to lay our heads, let us not add to the pathos and emptiness of our changeful existence by abandoning the life of the home. Let ui light again the flame put on our hearths; make sanctuaries for ourselves, warm nests age repose , prayer an altar, and the fatherland a cult" Whatever un dermines the home enfeebles the foundations of our greatness, limits our usefulness, and endangers our na tional existence. Epworlh Herald. How to Hold .Your Friends. Those who would make good friends must cultivate the qualities which are admired and which attract If you are mean, stingy, and selfish, nobody will admire you. Tou must culti vate generosity and large-heartedness you must be magnanimous and tole rant; you must have positive qualities; for a negative, shrinking, apologising, roundabout man - Is de spised. Tou must cultivate courage and boldness; for a coward has few friends. Tou must believe in yourself. If you do not others will not be lieve In you. Tou must look upward and be hopeful, cherry and optimistic. No one will be attracted to a gloomy pessimist The moment a man feels that you do not ask about his business, pro fession, book, or article merely out of courtesy, you will get his attention and will interest him. Tou will tie him to you Just In proportion to the intensity and unselfishness of your Interest In him. But if you are sel fish, and think of nothing but your ad vancement; If you are wondering how you can use everybody to help you along; if you look upon every man or woman you are introduced to as so much more possible success-capital; if you measure people by the amount of bustness they can send you, or the number of new clients, patients, or readers of your book they can secure for you, they will look upon you In the same way. If you have friends, don't be afraid to tell them that you admire or love them. If you love anybody, why not say so? If you enjoy anyone's company, why not say so? A lady was asked how she managed to get along so well with disagree able people. "It Is very simple," she replied; ""all I do Is to try to make the most of their good qualities and pay no attention to their disagreeable ones." No better formula by which to win and hold friends could be found. Success. CAUSED FLURRY IN MONEY. Report of Stock Market for Week Just Passed, New York, Nov. 26. The week In the stock market was replete wltJh Interesting events, not the least of these being the call upon the govern ment banks by the secretary of the treasury, causing a flurry In money and lower prices In the general list Recoveries came at the week's end. In some instances, notably the Uni ted States steel stocks and bonds, new high records were recorded. Trading was moderately large, though com mission houses reported little In crease of public demand. The opinion prevails that considerable liquidation has taken place in the past fortnight, and that the short Interest has In creased. The week brought numer ous offerings of new bond Issues. Conditions in the steel and iron trade show steady Improvement and is attested by higher prices for pro ducts. Reports agree that mercantile Interests In almost every section are satisfactory and that the demands from this source will be met with out a material advance in the rates for time money. Railroad returns generally are better.

Considerable stir has been caused In church circles by reports from Pittsburg to the ef fect that announcement had been made there at a society function at tended by 100 ministers that Union theological seminary had discarded the Westminister confession of faith and that the faculty of the seminary had accepted one of their own by a unanimous vote. It was also reported that in connection with this, gifts to the seminary aggregating $250,000 were also announced. The Rev. Thomas H.
